Today I have the privileged of guest posting over at Kevin Haggerty’s blog, the Isle of Man. Kevin is quickly becoming the Ryan Seacrest of social media. Let me clarify. Kevin is everywhere I look on the world wide web. I feel like I have to clarify because some people are haters of Mr. Seacrest. I digress. Do me a solid and head on over to his site. While you are there check out some of his other posts.
Big shout out to Arny over at the Analogous Truth. He posted a similar post last week that was ha-larious. He gave his blessing for me to post something similar.
Here is a snapshot of my guest post….
Last week my wife showed me a video on Facebook that featured status updates from the Christmas story. Seeing that video spurred on an immediate thought. Why didn’t I think of that!?
Now I tell you that because I’m about to throw down my own Mary and Joseph Facebook status updates and I don’t want to hear how someone else already did it. If I’ve learned anything in this life it’s that there is always room for two. We have McDonald’s and Burger King. We have Pepsi and Coke. I have twins, Reese and Hayden. My point is that I know I ripped this idea but I hope you will still enjoy it.
Now most scholars believe that Mary was a teenage girl. Take that into mind. The following is a Facebook account of the Christmas story.
Mary: OMG I’m preggers.
In this sense Mary is not using the Lord’s name in vain.

Rob, I headed over there, but Kevin is probably not used to your early riser readers. The post wasn’t up yet. I went ahead and laughed. I’m sure you understand that it was because of how funny I’m sure your post is. I’ll check back later.
Like it!
I had a dream that I went to church on Sunday and heard this!
Stevie, you did. The idea started as a potential blog post but I didn’t want to steal the thunder of the talk on Sunday. I figured it could still find a home on the blog.
Thanks for the Shout out Rob!!!
I even think my Commentors like you did a better job then I did! LOL… it was fun!
God bless and Merry Christmas!
Thanks for the shout out Rob!

Thanks for the Shout out Rob!!!
It was so fun writing it!!!
Thanks for the Shout out rob!!!
Rob, good stuff from Sunday. I do wish the Bible was more clear what happened to Joseph after Jesus was born. Did he die young, did he quietly leave her? He is just not mentioned again. Mary gets a few shout outs along the way, but Joseph is never heard from again.
“This is gonna be a long 9 months”
I loved this talk from Sunday. Have to say it has not lost any of its power the second time around. I love the idea that joy comes from God and is independent from circumstance. My wife and I have been reminding each other of this since Sunday. Thanks, Rob!
Mary: If God can make me pregnant out of nowhere, then why can’t he make me a mini-van?
